- 2014 FORMULA DRIFT SPONSORSHIP PROPOSAL -
Dear Prospective Sponsor, I am Chris Mills, and I am a professional drifter. I began drifting in 2010 and became competitive very quickly. With this love for the sport and eagerness to advance, I began competing in Formula Drift Pro Am events in 2013. In September of 2013, I was named the 2013 Golden Gate Drift ProAm series champion and was awarded my Formula Drift professional license. With a very successful season driving in 2013 and a new car under construction, I am eager and ready to tackle a very competitive Formula Drift season in 2014. To help accomplish my goals, and help businesses like yours, I am looking for partnership opportunities for 2014. To help you learn a little more about myself and my racing goals, I have listed additional information on the following pages. If you have any questions or would like to speak to me further, please do not hesitate to contact me. Best regards, Chris Mills 925-918-2855 mills.c111@gmail.com
